It was just after ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and me were sitting going over the recent footy results, waiting for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Thornton Steward and put petrol in a diesel classic Mitsubishi Outlander lease car by mistake. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure position and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from the office, we were able to find her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and a lot less concerned. One more misfuel correction in North Yorkshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel will often bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations pretty simply.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
